Convert 36 cubic meters to cubic millimeters? Show work!

We know that: 10mm = 1cm

100cm = 1m

From these conversions, we can simply say that 1000mm = 1m

Now if 1000mm = 1m, then to convert milliliters (mm) to meters (m) should be pretty straight forward.

(1000mm) ^{3} = (1m) ^{3}

X = 36m^3 ... here the cubic meters cancels out, leaving mm

thus, (36 * 1000) mm^3 = 36000 cubic meters
